thats awesome, very nice...you should clean up the other pics as well...i think i can see thinks in them but i'm not sure...when you clean up the pic like that though it makes it quite clear....i hope we aren't going off on a tangent with these pictures though...oh well, worth a try, maybe we'll find something

Okay in pic5 (5.jpg) the Love Shop sign is mirrored in the background and someone is standing at the edge of the picture. Could these images be connected somehow?

Looking at all the photos I came up with this.

Pic 1 is of Hallucimill itself. Pic 2 is of course the one with the face. Pic 3 is possibly of Carousel (seems to be something or some people standing in a circle). Pic 4 is a skewed picture of the Arcade from the website (you can see the squarish architecture on the left). And Pic 5 is the Love Shop photo. I can't see any direct correlation. Any ideas?

I think they are just snapshots from the movie, altered to make it seem like you are tripping your balls off around the arcade.

The face is interesting tho as it was fairly well hidden. It almost looks like a sketch...and dare I say bowtie? Also on the face pic, there are some odd dots on the sides. Maybe just reference points to "unshear" it and see the face. Or possibly filling in the gaps left from when the PMs distorted it.

I tried uncamoflauging them all with no luck. There are some anomalous lines on all of them as if they had been masked or tweaked to fit a certain size maybe. Most of the pix are blurred...like a motion blur from a sketchy screen capture (or grabbing the only frames from the movie/show that show these places.)

My best estimates (with heavy spec added for fun)

Pic1 - Hallucimill exterior. It almost looks modern - like its a real place. A chi-chi bar or lounge.

Pic2 - Tha face

Pic3 - Carousel with a slight twirl filter and a bit of vertical stretching.

Pic 4 - A distorted, blurry and fisheyed shot of the great hall

Pic 5 - Love Shop mirrored image. Seems like 2 people standing out front of the Love Shop.

I really cant find anything special beyond that.

Okay, so we agree on that. I still can't see any significant connection. Possibly a wild goose chase? Dunno. I'll keep on it.

Those pictures have been the same since launch, i can't find any significance in them.
